Therapeutic Yoga Poses

Kitty Yoga

Most likely the most therapeutic yoga pose known to all inspiring yoginis. This pose is about relaxation. As you lie down and get comfortable, remember to relax your jaw, muscles around your eyes and throat. Allow your body to get heavy. With each exhale, scan your body and release any tension you may feel. Shavasana brings everything together: Body, mind and spirit allowing you to absorb the benefits of the yoga poses you just practiced.

 ”Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.” ~ M. Scott Peck   Procrastination is…   It is the root of all…well, opportunities lost.  It is the anti-growth, the thief of dreams.  The verb procrastinate means to put off doing something, [...]

Habits That Make Us or Break Us

Meditation...the Best Habit

Habits that break us keep us from living the life we dream about. Habits that make us are habits that help us create the life we want, the life most people only dream about. Habits are what separate the men from the boys, the rich from the poor, the leaders from the followers. Everyone has good habits and not so good habits. And since we a slaves to our habits, why not be slaves to good habits?

Too Old and Tired to Work Out

OUCH! I Can Barely Move...

Too Old?  Too Tired?  Or Both?   It Hurts Too Much When I exercise.  After I exercise, I am so tired and in pain I cannot work out again so I stop altogether.  I’m too old to work out.  I’m too tired to work out.  I hear this often from people who either overdo it [...]

What Does It Mean To Inspire?

Sunset

I have my own business and part of that business requires me to get on the phone and speak with people who have a desire to live a more healthy, happy, fulfilling life. I had a lot phone calls to make and I was preparing my list of people I wanted to inspire. I called and called and left message after message to no avail. I had been doing that for days and had a few responses and even some good conversations, but on this particular day I felt depleted. I thought to myself, how am I ever going to reach people? I wanted to quit and just walk away from my desk and even prepared to do just that and then my phone rang.

How to Deal with and Heal Back Pain

Child's Pose with the Child

My chiropractor is awesome. He rolls me into the adjustment. Never pushes too hard and never does anything that would make the inflammation worse. I get a wonderful massage while I’m there just for the places that are causing me pain. I am treated well and their concern for my well-being is present every time I visit. Definitely not a “wham bam thank you ma’am” kind of place where you hurdled in like cattle on speed and out in 5 minutes. And I’ll say the same thing about massage therapists. Sometimes you’ve got to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince or princess. I have one in my area I would refer anyone to. He is intuitive and seems to know exactly what I need every time I visit. All I have to do is tell them where it hurts. He gets it. If you want to have an exceptional massage you have got to be willing to communicate. Don’t be shy. They are there to help you, but if they don’t know what is bothering you, their job then becomes a guessing game. Who wants that? “Oh, surprise me. Let’s see if you get it right.” No! Tell them. Give them as much information as you can. Let them do their thing and give yourself a delicious treat.
